Running CM 5.0.2 and flashed gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed
Prior to flashing that. I was getting 600 kbps(always got this from home) now im getting 199kbps. Can some one please guide me to the original stock radio(I think its ER79not sure)? I assume all I would need to do is flash it over current. Please advise. Thanks.

probably the reason why google haven't made that version offical.
if you search on the development section, there are posts there which guides you on how to go back

Go back to what???? It would nice to know what I'm trying to go back to, when I'm searching for ......Ahhh... ok, found it 'ERD79' is the original shipping ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619801 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619801
I believe the 'B' stands for beta - and it's highly possible that that version has some serious extra debugging traces or whatnot.
I'd wait for the official release...

I am wanting to try a few things on my G1 before I get the mytouch 3g in a couple of days, but I have a friend that wants to buy it from me, but he isnt that tech savvy so I was going to put it back to the normal Tmobile rom, but I want to know if that is at all possible, since it is already rooted or is it once rooted always rooted? I try to stick to lurking but this is just something I am worried about because when I got my G1 it was already rooted so I know nothing about whats what on it, I knew everything about all the other phones that I had because I had done all the modifying myself. I am just cautious thats all. Thanks this is an excellent forum.
repeat after me: "Search is my friend".
go back to RC29 then wait to see if it updates

Like I said I searched for everything I could think of and didnt find any information about going back to the original rom, about unrooting yes but not about the original rom.

No big deal...but I don't see anything in the OP about searching...but the short answer is yes, you can...just (as the above post states) reapply the RC29 image. I just did this on my wifes G1 to send it back as a warranty exchange.

Look at the stickied post with the label "***Informative Threads***" There is a link in there called "UNROOT, get phone to STOCK firmware"
After you follow the directions in the UNROOT thread and reload the original bootloader and RC29, flash to Cupcake. It will pick up the CRC1 update much faster that way, IIRC. I've uploaded Cupcake to my mediafire account.

Hi
I just got unlocked HTC Hero. I'm unable to download firmware upgrade from HTC because (as far as I understand) the phone is T-Mobile branded.
Will I be able to upgrade after I root it?
Can I use firmware posted at this link?
Thanks.
I also want to know this...
But I believe (don't take it for granted) that you can simply use one of the original RUU files on that link and update your Hero with them. No need to root it or anything... This is what I think, I'm not sure about it.
Well, since there are other people interested to know I will answer my own question.
I just successfully rooted and upgraded my T-Mobile Hero to Modaco custom ROM providing a great improvement to UI speed (and many other things I'm not yet aware). I used the following guides from The Unlockr.com for rooting and upgrading:

I appreciate it, thanks
Hey Jackhab,
Appreciate the postback with the solution to your own problem but was wondering how old your Hero was? I've just ordered one from Tmob which I expect to arrive tomorrow and am wondering if the steps will be as simple for me.
Not sure where you live but I'm in the UK so just hoping they don't come already updated.
Why not go to the t-mobile forum and all your answers including links to correct firmwares are there!

I bought mine a couple of weeks ago on eBay from some guy in California, the device is from Germany and I live in Israel (quite a trip this poor cell phone made ). I don't think you'll have any troubles with yours as long as you follow the *written* instruction (the videos are good to get the idea in general).
I also noticed this Unlockr guy(s) is a very nice person and answers to every single comment people post (see comments below the videos) so even if you do have a problem he/she will be ready to help.
Just two things to note.
First, the upgrade erases *all* your settings so don't spend days customizing it's GUI (it's so easy with Hero) just to find you need to do all over again. Upgrade as soon as you can. It will also give you better UI experience.
Second, I tried to be smart and backed up the system settings with MyBackup application. After I restored them the phone went into an endless boot and I had to go through upgrade again. If you need only backup non-system settings, bookmarks and such.

T Mobile ROM as in the sticky thread should be fine but if you are after rooting your device than it is poinless as you may be flashing your choice of rom......most probably MCR....

Once recovery flashed ,you can happily flash 2.8, which is excellent.
And after that dont forget to update radio with latest for excellent results.

Now I have 2.9. Are you saying 2.8 is better? And, by the way, what are the things radio updates improve? Is it something noticeable at all?

Stick to it! All MCR are super.
Upgraded radio will be better than last one for signal strength etc.

I would recommend reading everything in this thread. yes you can revert back to stock after flashing new ROMs. I highly recommend doing research before you start...that means searching. All the answers you will need are contained within existing threads.
Yes, you can restore the original ROM. In the guides to root it tell you to make a nandroid backup. That'll let you restore the original ROM.

Thanks to all and that is exactly what I was looking for. I have done some mods with a Tilt in the past but nothing with my Hero. Now to choose a ROM that still lets the Sprint Navigation work - don't care about most of the other apps that came with it.

hi there everyone,
I had been a keen follower of xda n other communities for the SGSII however, due to being really busy and commitments, I have not been in touch with the SGSII world for the last two-three months...
I have been running litening rom version 2 (just shows how out of date I am ) but now I need to get back to the stock rom...
I know how to flash and am not a newbie when it comes to odin, download mode etc however, I would be grateful to whoever can point to the most recent version of the stock ROM and also the link to the thread where I can download it from...I know its in android development but no idea exactly where...
I have a UK SGS2 originally locked to o2 but now unlocked (thanks to o2..)..
..thanks a lot!!!

I was actually searching for an unbranded firmware (dont know if it really makes a diff though)...
Ok so i know i am a newbie to this sort of thing but i wanted to wrap my head around everything and also specifically to my phone before i decide to do something and the results are permanent.
Firstly ill start off with saying im a Canadian Virgin Mobile customer and i just got the Galaxy S4 (SGH-i337m).
Ok so i want to root my device but i am confused about some of the basic concepts. I saw the tutorial video posted for my specific phone by the smoking android (link for those who havent seen it: youtube. com/watch?v=cI9r5dEcNo4) and i understand that the rooting process is fairly simple.
What i am confused about though is my options once i am a root user and if i ever chose to revert back to original. Lets say i went ahead and rooted my phone. Will i be able to software update through the updates that virgin sends me? also if i am able to then will i maintain root acess?
my second biggest question is lets say for whatever reason i want to go back to the way my phone is now, with the stock virgin firmware. is this possible? and with no trace of the root before (is this the same as achieving original status instead of a custom one)? i know that you can remove the root and then reset the binary counter but im not too sure how all of this works, its a lot to take in at once.
im just trying to clear things up and yes i am quite new to all this (got my s4 yesterday) but i am a quick learner and im just trying to get a grip on everything.
thanks in advance for bearing with me

ok so i read the threads an i understand a lot more now. It seems to me like i have the ability to easily root and then go back to the stock firmware if i please with no consequences. i just have to flash the with the correct rom [and modem?] to put it back to stock and everything should work fine.
i hope i have this straight

Why modem? is that really necessary, I think you mean kernel.
if you flash back to stock, modem and kernel will be included.
